How to arrange with websites not allowing some special characters/symbols in password
Since some websites do not allow all special characters, e.g. no @ sign, I currently have to reduce the password length, since I use the maximum profile to allow a generated password anyway. This not only reduces the password strength, but also makes it difficult to remember which profile I used for generation.
How can I handle this?

Hi! Thanks for reporting this.
We are actively looking for websites that do not support the default password template (Long Password). If you can share which website is giving you issues (and any in the future), we'd like to add them to our research.
The goal is to update the app with a password type that is more universally supported and maintains maximum levels of entropy.

The german Telekom allows those but only max. 16 characters:
!#$%&()*+,-./<=>[email protected][]_{|}~
They don't allow colons.
DKB.de: !$%&/()=?+#,.:-äüöÄÜÖß
Here no @ or semicolon.
A bit annoying that companies restrict characters

But the question is still how can I handle this? Does it mean there is no other solution then selecting a profile with lower length?
